Laggy's blog

I don't know if this is appropriate but in a sense I always felt that I could come back to cf for help if I needed it. Sharing it with your network regardless could also be useful. Thanks in advance.

Since I made this blog last year some people have asked me to create this since nobody has done it yet. So let's complete it together and I'll do my best on keeping it updated.

Just like Updown last year for the teams where I don't know the cf handles of the team members, I put their names instead.

A series of unfortunate events has been going on for a few days since I moved to Innopolis, Russia. First, a nuclear explosion upon my arrival. Then the a small fire in the dorm I am staying at which lead to alarms firing and me running around in my pajamas while carrying only my laptop (Yes, I had to save one thing). And then I login to codeforces to find my contribution has decreased. Well now that's bad.

So as continuation for last year's blog here is some data from the handles we have of IOI participants.

Total Score Distribution

Day1 Distribution

Day2 Distribution

Try to find tmwilliamlin168 in those pictures since Benq is obvious.

MikeMirzayanov First of all, thanks for the new feature. I was hoping you could add a new entry similar to the problem.points to the api response of the problemset.problems method. Surely, the new feature can be used to make interesting things like a smart problem selector relative to one's average difficulty.

Since ACPC is coming up and we have Teams participating in ACPC 2018 I used my api wrapper to build the table below:

Hello beloved community, today I am happy to present you codeforce's contest picker which is a public version of our internal community's picker that can be read about here.

This is a continuation of CPC (Competitive Programming Community) project that you can check out in my older blogs.

What does it do?

It's simple, you add a list of handles and it will pick you all the contests that none of the handles had tried (submitted, not necessarily accepted) before.

Gym is now included:

Since ICPC is near, I decided to include gym contests since you guys probably want to do them with your teams? I hope I was right.

Normal rounds are also included:

Right at the top of the website you see Virtual Contest Picker.

Searching works.

Both Virtual Contests / Gym Pickers have a search bar that filters the list using some string. If you want to do past ACM regionals with your mates you can just type ACM in the search-bar and it will show you ... contests whose name contains ACM.. obviously.

Usage:

1- Visit our website (below).

2- Choose your picker.

3- Add a list of handles.

4- Choose the contest.

5- Solve the contest.

6- Go to ICPC.

7- Beat Um_nik and his team.

Step 6 and 7 are optional. Jk, 1 to 5 are the optional.

Pick a Contest

Hello Codeforces, hope you're all doing great. So while thinking about doing some projects related to competitive programming I came to the conclusion that I need an api wrapper to smoothen the process out and went and created one. It's unofficial meaning it's not approved by MikeMirzayanov yet (approve pls?) and I hope it becomes a community project that who ever wants to contribute feels free to do so.

What can it do?

My initial vision was creating something that automates certain processes e.g. hacking, selecting problems based on some data and basically anything that has to do with statistics of contests/problems.

For example, this is how I found that the only C problem that has fft as a tag is 662C - Binary Table
Pretty cool, right?
Another simple use case is that pulling out similar statistics becomes very easy:

Total Score Distribution

Day 1 Distribution

Day 2 Distribution

This data was generated using 214 contestants whose codeforces' handles were available at the IOI statistics profile and using CF API Wrapper (which will be released tomorrow) to generate CF data.

Can you guess which point is Benq? ^^

As a desperate Pupil I was interested in knowing some more about grand masters and decided to look if any once-newbies besides zscoder have made it to red.

Insanely Dedicated People

User Minimum Rating Maximum Rating Δ
zscoder 1117 2908 +1791
netman 1105 2625 +1520
Arthur 1158 2592 +1434
Shayan 1119 2498 +1379

sillycross 1182 2540 +1358
craborac 1084 2430 +1346
SmallBoy 1165 2462 +1297

So yes, 8 people made it. I don't know if that tells you anything if you're a newbie. But don't lose hope just yet.

Had you ever thought about doing some contests virtually with your teammates or friends? If you had then, you know how hard it could be to find a contest that none of you had attempted. Well, not anymore.

The Virtual Contests Picker gives you a list of 6 random contests (if available) that a group of handles had never attempted.

This is part of the algo-chan project (Know more about it from this post)

How does it work: You need to type in the chat !cf vc div1/2 0 "handle1 handle2 handle3...".

Because every group has certain needs you can limit the contests to div1 or div2 and you can choose the minimum number of problems that should be included in the contests.

So the general syntax is:
!cf vc div min_count "list of space separated handles"

How to use:

  • Refer to the link above.
  • Join the server.
  • Use the command explained in this post.
  • Profit.


Right now it supports all codeforces contests except gym. But rest assured, gym will soon be supported. Hopefully in a few days.

I hope you like this little addition to the server and if you have any suggestions for this or for a new feature just let it out.

Hey guys, I am working on a virtual contest picker as part of the algo-chan project. I am trying to use http://codeforces.net/api/problemset.problems to build a problem list for each contest but this won't work because of contests with more than one division only the appended problems show there.

Example: ContestsL 872,871,870 870 seems like the base for the other two but there's no way to know where the other two start. For 872 the api doesn't even know about it's existence.

I hope MikeMirzayanov or anyone who has experience with doing something like this could help. PS: I am trying to use the API and not parse every codeforces.com/contest/id page. (Keeping this as a last resort)

Thanks in advance.

 Problem: 467C - George and Job So as you can see this is so cool because the bug doesn't actually have anything to do with the solving function. It happens somewhere when building the prefix sum. The current code doesn't pass TC#5 while after removing the green part it goes up to TC#55. How? I wish I knew. Maybe you guys have some thoughts ^^

Kudos to Bassel for playing with it.

CPC or Competitive Programming Community is a Discord server targeting problem solvers and competitive programmers from all backgrounds and different platforms.

First let me briefly introduce Discord for those who haven't heard of it before:

Discord is an all-in-one voice and text chat application that works on browser/desktop/phone. Every server can have multiple text & voice channels accessed by members of the server or limited to a certain group of these members. You can share code/text/links/pictures at the text channels and you can talk in the voice channels.

Why should you join the server?

Basically, you get to meet other members and have group discussions without caring about down-votes. The server is currently active with over 700+ members (still have a long way to go). Also, Discord has nice features such as pinning messages/pinging users/search function and many other cool stuff.

But most importantly, for all you contest enthusiasts, you will be very interested in joining our post-contest discussions. Those are when the server is most active and everyone is raging about their hacked solutions, bugged code, how they misunderstood the statements and/or all your typical post-contest feelings then, you discuss problems.
The members are from all ranks and A LOT of them are actually quite humble and love helping others. Well, you will know what I am talking about once you join wink.


Join Us by visiting this invite →
Share discord.gg/algorithms with your friends for good luck

tl-dr version of the problem: You have a set of numbers and you need to look for a subset with a sum that ranges from l,u given that u — l is bigger than or equal the difference between the max,min elements from the set of given numbers.

Why does the two pointer method work here? Sorting the numbers and just adding the elements until you get over the range boundaries then subtracting until you get it right (in case there's a solution this will always work), why? What's the logic behind it?
